If you haven’t gotten it yet, I will totally not judge you for paper-masking it up 2003 SARS-scare style. I was in bed with it for five long days. The very slight silver lining to being home sick is that you get to catch up on your Hulu queue.

Or when you’re squatting with idealistic, pensive punks in an abandoned warehouse, reading Walt Whitman or Thoreau and thinking about how you wouldn't have to pay any taxes or have a job if you lived like the link you saw on Facebook of the guy who camps in the Canadian forest and makes a new shelter out of the stuff around him everyday. You’re probably thinking how easy it would be to be truly D.I.Y. if you lived way out somewhere, but not \u003cem>too\u003c/em> far. You’re also thinking, once you go ‘farm-to-table’, after all, the next logical step is to go 'back to the land.' So, I think we should talk, because moving ‘off-the-grid’ is not a joke, it’s a terrible thing to do to yourself and anyone you love, and it happened to me. And since it seems so unbelievably hip to live in a reclaimed wood shack on a sustainable farm decorated with succulents these days, I really need to warn you about your ideological hippy fantasy before you make a serious mistake.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_776\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 300px\">\u003ca href=\"http://blogs.kqed.org/pop/2013/02/15/this-aint-leaves-of-grass-debunking-your-off-the-grid-idealism/cabin/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-776\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-776\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2013/02/cabin-300x224.jpg\" alt=\"cabin\" width=\"300\" height=\"224\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The scene of my tortured childhood\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left\">\u003cem>The short version is that I rolled out of the womb blithely rollerskating in the San Jose suburbs, until my mom remarried a man who lived like a rugged Tom Selleck-buddha on the top of a mountain. Our house in the Santa Cruz mountains burned down, and we bought 800 acres in the middle of nowhere in the Sierra foothills, where I suddenly became an L.A. Gear child in an off-the-grid nightmare. When I was older, I moved into ‘town’ in Nevada City, CA and I spent my late teens living in various houses in the woods with roommates which were not exactly off any grid anymore, but remote just the same, (out of a lack of real estate more than for more rugged experience). \u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center\">\u003cstrong>Here are some reasons not to move to the middle of nowhere. \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003col>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>There’s nowhere to pee.\u003c/strong> Whether you’re visiting a new construction site or a god-awful yurt, there are no bathrooms. As a girl, you’ll find this a problem when you go out into the woods and accidentally piss all over the back of your pants. The cute guy you are with will lay out newspapers on the front seat before you can get in his car so you don’t ruin his upholstery.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>You will get tired of each other like in \u003cem>The Shining\u003c/em>.\u003c/strong> No matter who you move into the wild with, this will happen to you. You’ll think deciding to live away from other people is a good idea until you throw an ax through the door when your partner locks you in the closet because you were talking to your finger.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Your weak city arms will not be able to start the generator and you will live in fear of getting caught for using all the solar power to watch \u003cem>90210\u003c/em>.\u003c/strong> Okay, maybe that was just me, but it could still happen to you when you try to stream \u003cem>Portlandia\u003c/em>.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>You’ll run out of firewood and start cutting up everything around you.\u003c/strong> Once you use all the viable dry wood around the house, you’re going to have to cut and “season” your firewood. If you can’t use a chainsaw, you’ll find yourself chopping up your roommate’s dresser in the garage with an ax and lying to him when he looks for it.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Crazy people are your neighbors.\u003c/strong> You know who else wants to move away from the rest of civilization?

Or when you’re squatting with idealistic, pensive punks in an abandoned warehouse, reading Walt Whitman or Thoreau and thinking about how you wouldn't have to pay any taxes or have a job if you lived like the link you saw on Facebook of the guy who camps in the Canadian forest and makes a new shelter out of the stuff around him everyday. You’re probably thinking how easy it would be to be truly D.I.Y. if you lived way out somewhere, but not \u003cem>too\u003c/em> far. You’re also thinking, once you go ‘farm-to-table’, after all, the next logical step is to go 'back to the land.' So, I think we should talk, because moving ‘off-the-grid’ is not a joke, it’s a terrible thing to do to yourself and anyone you love, and it happened to me. And since it seems so unbelievably hip to live in a reclaimed wood shack on a sustainable farm decorated with succulents these days, I really need to warn you about your ideological hippy fantasy before you make a serious mistake.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_776\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 300px\">\u003ca href=\"http://blogs.kqed.org/pop/2013/02/15/this-aint-leaves-of-grass-debunking-your-off-the-grid-idealism/cabin/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-776\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-776\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2013/02/cabin-300x224.jpg\" alt=\"cabin\" width=\"300\" height=\"224\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The scene of my tortured childhood\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left\">\u003cem>The short version is that I rolled out of the womb blithely rollerskating in the San Jose suburbs, until my mom remarried a man who lived like a rugged Tom Selleck-buddha on the top of a mountain. Our house in the Santa Cruz mountains burned down, and we bought 800 acres in the middle of nowhere in the Sierra foothills, where I suddenly became an L.A. Gear child in an off-the-grid nightmare. When I was older, I moved into ‘town’ in Nevada City, CA and I spent my late teens living in various houses in the woods with roommates which were not exactly off any grid anymore, but remote just the same, (out of a lack of real estate more than for more rugged experience). \u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center\">\u003cstrong>Here are some reasons not to move to the middle of nowhere. \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003col>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>There’s nowhere to pee.\u003c/strong> Whether you’re visiting a new construction site or a god-awful yurt, there are no bathrooms. As a girl, you’ll find this a problem when you go out into the woods and accidentally piss all over the back of your pants. The cute guy you are with will lay out newspapers on the front seat before you can get in his car so you don’t ruin his upholstery.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>You will get tired of each other like in \u003cem>The Shining\u003c/em>.\u003c/strong> No matter who you move into the wild with, this will happen to you. You’ll think deciding to live away from other people is a good idea until you throw an ax through the door when your partner locks you in the closet because you were talking to your finger.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Your weak city arms will not be able to start the generator and you will live in fear of getting caught for using all the solar power to watch \u003cem>90210\u003c/em>.\u003c/strong> Okay, maybe that was just me, but it could still happen to you when you try to stream \u003cem>Portlandia\u003c/em>.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>You’ll run out of firewood and start cutting up everything around you.\u003c/strong> Once you use all the viable dry wood around the house, you’re going to have to cut and “season” your firewood. If you can’t use a chainsaw, you’ll find yourself chopping up your roommate’s dresser in the garage with an ax and lying to him when he looks for it.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Crazy people are your neighbors.\u003c/strong> You know who else wants to move away from the rest of civilization? Tweakers, cult members, pedophiles and escaped convicts.

Sure, it's fun to hold hands and have someone buy you an eclair for no reason and all that jazz. Loving someone else is super. But there's another form of love that predates loving someone else: the love you have for yourself a.k.a. The Greatest Love of All! So this Valentine's Day, let's not be so terribly obvious and transform into Bridget Jones. There's really no reason you need to cry while eating chocolate and singing Celine Dion ballads in your underwear. You're cute and fun and you should get out there and do cute and fun things! Here are a few ideas of ways to spend your Valentine's Day:\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\u003cstrong>1.

The waiter said \"It'll cost you,\" and I asked, \"How much?\" and the next thing you know I was slipping a ten into some guy's palm and we were right next to the sound guy, close enough to make eye contact with Rob Corddry.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Childrens Hospital \u003c/em>is probably the show I care least about on the list of shows that had panels last weekend, but that's just because \u003cem>Party Down \u003c/em>and \u003cem>Burning Love \u003c/em>are two of my favorite shows of all-time ever. So it was still really great. The panel, which included Rob Huebel, Lake Bell, Erinn Hayes, (getting drunker but in a fun way) Ken Marino and Beth Dover as well as the aforementioned Rob Corddry, was moderated by David Wain, the director of \u003cem>Childrens Hospital \u003c/em>as well as about a million other things I love like \u003cem>Wet Hot American Summer\u003c/em>, \u003cem>Role Models,\u003c/em> and \u003cem>Stella\u003c/em>. Also, because all these things are connected and it is clear all these people are friends, David Wain once directed an episode of \u003cem>Party Down \u003c/em>and he was actually in the audience for the earlier \u003cem>Party Down \u003c/em>panel. Unlike the earlier panel, mostly everyone on the \u003cem>Childrens Hospital \u003c/em>panel was a little drunk, which gave the whole thing a nice, friendly, sloppy feeling. The highlights of the night were: a) the viewing of \u003ca href=\"http://vimeo.com/46795889\" target=\"_blank\">a promo for the show which started out as a blood drive PSA and ended in a slo-mo good-time blood fight\u003c/a> and b) the moment when I asked David Wain during the Q&A why he wasn't on screen more and he said, \"I will be in the fifth season.\" When I for some reason said, \"Oh, I don't have a TV,\" the whole panel started screaming at me. At one point, Erinn Hayes said to the crowd: \"This girl doesn't even have a TV and yet she paid to get in here?!\" and I said: \"Actually I didn't pay.\" The cast really lost it then and Erinn Hayes pointed to the door and said: \"GET OUT\" while Rob Corddry mouthed \"I'm sorry.\" It was the most fun I've had getting yelled at probably ever.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>2. \u003cem>Burning Love\u003c/em>\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center\">\u003ca href=\"http://blogs.kqed.org/pop/2013/02/11/party-down-childrens-hospital-burning-love-and-garfunkel-and-oates-my-epic-closing-weekend-at-sketchfest-2013/vkqq0kjjbk/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-1046\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-1046 aligncenter\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2013/02/VkqQ0kjJBk.jpg\" alt=\"VkqQ0kjJBk\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2013/02/VkqQ0kjJBk.jpg 500w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2013/02/VkqQ0kjJBk-400x400.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2013/02/VkqQ0kjJBk-32x32.jpg 32w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2013/02/VkqQ0kjJBk-64x64.jpg 64w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2013/02/VkqQ0kjJBk-96x96.jpg 96w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2013/02/VkqQ0kjJBk-128x128.jpg 128w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2013/02/VkqQ0kjJBk-75x75.jpg 75w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you haven't watched \u003cem>\u003ca href=\"http://screen.yahoo.com/burning-love/\" target=\"_blank\">Burning Love\u003c/a> \u003c/em>yet, you are doing something wrong. It's a web series that actually works, a take-off on \u003cem>The Bachelor \u003c/em>franchise or more accurately the \"Next week, on \u003cem>The Bachelor\u003c/em>...\" segments that air at the end of every episode. Basically: \u003cem>Burning Love \u003c/em>is really short and it stars a bunch of your favorite comedians.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This was the third panel I saw at Cobb's. The show was over-booked so I was only able to get one ticket, but I bribed the same waiter for the same seat and this time instead of making eye contact with Rob Corddry, I was gazing into the eyes of Ryan Hansen and Martin Starr. Or at least I was trying to. This was the largest panel and it included director and co-creator Ken Marino (who was drinking another beer, potentially to deal with his hangover from Saturday) (I saw so much Ken Marino this weekend I kind of think he's my friend now), writer and co-creator (and Ken's wife) Erica Oyama, host Michael Ian Black, executive producer Jonathan Stern, and series stars June Diane Raphael, Beth Dover, Carla Gallo, Rob Huebel, Natasha Leggero, Joe Lo Truglio, Paul Scheer and Janet Varney plus, like I said, Ryan Hansen and Martin Starr.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>(\u003cstrong>Aside for super fans only:\u003c/strong> The cross-pollination was getting a little bananas at this point. June Diane Raphael had been in the audience at \u003cem>Party Down \u003c/em>too and Martin Starr and Ryan Hansen were in that panel because, well, they starred in \u003cem>Party Down\u003c/em>. The moderator of the panel was Paul Scheer, who is a contestant on \u003cem>Burning Love S\u003c/em>eason Two and was a guest star on \u003cem>Party Down \u003c/em>as well as the moderator of\u003cem> \u003c/em>Saturday's \u003cem>Party Down \u003c/em>panel. Plus I swear he was wearing the exact same Nike's as David Wain was on Saturday. But ANYWAY.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The \u003cem>Burning Love \u003c/em>panel started with a preview of the second season, in which once-spurned June Diane Raphael is now the bachelorette. The show premieres on the internet on Valentine's Day, but those of us in the audience got to see the first two episodes. I won't give any spoilers but, as already known, Ryan Hansen is a dreamboat, Martin Starr is one of my top 5 favorite people I have never met and Colin Hanks looks like he's perfect as a \"lifestyle consultant.\" It's going to be an awesome season. We also got to see a very quick sneak peek of Season 3 which is a take-off on \u003cem>The Bachelor Pad \u003c/em>where former contestants of \u003cem>Burning Love \u003c/em>are competing in teams for $900. Michael Ian Black wears a crop top. So it's definitely going to be a success.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the end of the panel, Paul Scheer scoured the crowd for single ladies for a live version on \u003cem>Burning Love \u003c/em>called \u003cem>Quick Burn\u003c/em>. Unfortunately, the reason I gave for being worthy of wife-hood (\"I can skateboard a little\") was not as popular with the crowd as \"I'm a dancer\" from Krystin with a \"K\" and a \"y\" so I did not find my true love on stage at Cobb's on Sunday. But a girl named Krystin (?) and a boy named Jeremy (?) did. Or at least they pledged to live happily ever after, after a lightning elimination process directed by Michael Ian Black. The whole thing was pretty magical.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>1.

While I like \u003ca href=\"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fr8HKRTavM0&feature=share&list=UU1R9fG_iKqvt9FIhEQH9nTA\" target=\"_blank\">their stuff\u003c/a>, I wasn't convinced I would be experiencing anything new by going to their stage show. Guess who was the most wrong of all the wrong people? ME. Garfunkel and Oates was not only the highlight of Sketchfest, they were the highlight of February and the highlight of comedy that I've ever seen, which is pretty amazing since I was so far back I couldn't actually see them. On the walk back to our neighborhood Sunday night with my friends Drew (who took the above picture) and Audrey (same Audrey who came with me to \u003cem>Childrens Hospital \u003c/em>and pretty much every other Sketchfest show I attended), we tried to figure out what was so transcendent about the show that made us break into an impromptu dance party while the Rickshaw Stop was getting cleared out and kept us smiling and laughing for hours after it was over. Here are some things we came up with (list-within-a-list!):\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>1. Riki Lindhome and Kate Micucci are really trying to say something honest about the human experience. \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We decided that Garkunel and Oates is like what feminism is really meant to be in that, yes, they are girls and the perspective they bring is that of two women in their early thirties, but they are being so honest and earnest, and in a way, so specific, their music is pretty accessible to anyone (though maybe not 12 year-olds...they are pretty explicit).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>2. They are self-aware in a disarming way.\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Garfunkel and Oates can talk about pretty much anything from accidentally pleasuring oneself during a go-cart race to the annoying attitude of pregnant women, because the people they are most critically aware of is themselves and what they are really concerned with is how they act in the world. This is especially apparent when they are on stage and you can see the difference between their in-song personas and the actual people joking around and talking to each other and interacting with hecklers on stage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>3. They were totally present.\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It would be easy for a group that is clearly so talented musically and has such a specific repertoire to phone the whole show in. But Riki and Kate seemed to be singing every song for the first time, laughing at their own jokes, occasionally making mistakes even. It was hilarious and wonderful.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Whew! So there you have it. Sketchfest 2013 is in the record books. For those of you who made it to the end, a special treat. Here is a picture of one of the weirder stand-up acts I've ever seen, Dragon Boy Suede who opened for Garfunkel and Oates:\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_1050\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1032px\">\u003ca href=\"http://blogs.kqed.org/pop/2013/02/11/party-down-childrens-hospital-burning-love-and-garfunkel-and-oates-my-epic-closing-weekend-at-sketchfest-2013/drew2/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-1050\">\u003cimg class=\" wp-image-1050 \" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2013/02/drew2.jpg\" alt=\"drew2\" width=\"1032\" height=\"603\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2013/02/drew2.jpg 1032w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2013/02/drew2-400x233.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2013/02/drew2-800x467.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1032px) 100vw, 1032px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo by Drew Beck\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center\">\n\u003c/p>\n",

The waiter said \"It'll cost you,\" and I asked, \"How much?\" and the next thing you know I was slipping a ten into some guy's palm and we were right next to the sound guy, close enough to make eye contact with Rob Corddry.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Childrens Hospital \u003c/em>is probably the show I care least about on the list of shows that had panels last weekend, but that's just because \u003cem>Party Down \u003c/em>and \u003cem>Burning Love \u003c/em>are two of my favorite shows of all-time ever. So it was still really great. The panel, which included Rob Huebel, Lake Bell, Erinn Hayes, (getting drunker but in a fun way) Ken Marino and Beth Dover as well as the aforementioned Rob Corddry, was moderated by David Wain, the director of \u003cem>Childrens Hospital \u003c/em>as well as about a million other things I love like \u003cem>Wet Hot American Summer\u003c/em>, \u003cem>Role Models,\u003c/em> and \u003cem>Stella\u003c/em>. Also, because all these things are connected and it is clear all these people are friends, David Wain once directed an episode of \u003cem>Party Down \u003c/em>and he was actually in the audience for the earlier \u003cem>Party Down \u003c/em>panel. Unlike the earlier panel, mostly everyone on the \u003cem>Childrens Hospital \u003c/em>panel was a little drunk, which gave the whole thing a nice, friendly, sloppy feeling. The highlights of the night were: a) the viewing of \u003ca href=\"http://vimeo.com/46795889\" target=\"_blank\">a promo for the show which started out as a blood drive PSA and ended in a slo-mo good-time blood fight\u003c/a> and b) the moment when I asked David Wain during the Q&A why he wasn't on screen more and he said, \"I will be in the fifth season.\" When I for some reason said, \"Oh, I don't have a TV,\" the whole panel started screaming at me. At one point, Erinn Hayes said to the crowd: \"This girl doesn't even have a TV and yet she paid to get in here?!\" and I said: \"Actually I didn't pay.\" The cast really lost it then and Erinn Hayes pointed to the door and said: \"GET OUT\" while Rob Corddry mouthed \"I'm sorry.\" It was the most fun I've had getting yelled at probably ever.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>2. \u003cem>Burning Love\u003c/em>\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center\">\u003ca href=\"http://blogs.kqed.org/pop/2013/02/11/party-down-childrens-hospital-burning-love-and-garfunkel-and-oates-my-epic-closing-weekend-at-sketchfest-2013/vkqq0kjjbk/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-1046\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-1046 aligncenter\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2013/02/VkqQ0kjJBk.jpg\" alt=\"VkqQ0kjJBk\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2013/02/VkqQ0kjJBk.jpg 500w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2013/02/VkqQ0kjJBk-400x400.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2013/02/VkqQ0kjJBk-32x32.jpg 32w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2013/02/VkqQ0kjJBk-64x64.jpg 64w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2013/02/VkqQ0kjJBk-96x96.jpg 96w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2013/02/VkqQ0kjJBk-128x128.jpg 128w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2013/02/VkqQ0kjJBk-75x75.jpg 75w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you haven't watched \u003cem>\u003ca href=\"http://screen.yahoo.com/burning-love/\" target=\"_blank\">Burning Love\u003c/a> \u003c/em>yet, you are doing something wrong. It's a web series that actually works, a take-off on \u003cem>The Bachelor \u003c/em>franchise or more accurately the \"Next week, on \u003cem>The Bachelor\u003c/em>...\" segments that air at the end of every episode. Basically: \u003cem>Burning Love \u003c/em>is really short and it stars a bunch of your favorite comedians.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This was the third panel I saw at Cobb's. The show was over-booked so I was only able to get one ticket, but I bribed the same waiter for the same seat and this time instead of making eye contact with Rob Corddry, I was gazing into the eyes of Ryan Hansen and Martin Starr. Or at least I was trying to. This was the largest panel and it included director and co-creator Ken Marino (who was drinking another beer, potentially to deal with his hangover from Saturday) (I saw so much Ken Marino this weekend I kind of think he's my friend now), writer and co-creator (and Ken's wife) Erica Oyama, host Michael Ian Black, executive producer Jonathan Stern, and series stars June Diane Raphael, Beth Dover, Carla Gallo, Rob Huebel, Natasha Leggero, Joe Lo Truglio, Paul Scheer and Janet Varney plus, like I said, Ryan Hansen and Martin Starr.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>(\u003cstrong>Aside for super fans only:\u003c/strong> The cross-pollination was getting a little bananas at this point. June Diane Raphael had been in the audience at \u003cem>Party Down \u003c/em>too and Martin Starr and Ryan Hansen were in that panel because, well, they starred in \u003cem>Party Down\u003c/em>. The moderator of the panel was Paul Scheer, who is a contestant on \u003cem>Burning Love S\u003c/em>eason Two and was a guest star on \u003cem>Party Down \u003c/em>as well as the moderator of\u003cem> \u003c/em>Saturday's \u003cem>Party Down \u003c/em>panel. Plus I swear he was wearing the exact same Nike's as David Wain was on Saturday. But ANYWAY.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The \u003cem>Burning Love \u003c/em>panel started with a preview of the second season, in which once-spurned June Diane Raphael is now the bachelorette. The show premieres on the internet on Valentine's Day, but those of us in the audience got to see the first two episodes. I won't give any spoilers but, as already known, Ryan Hansen is a dreamboat, Martin Starr is one of my top 5 favorite people I have never met and Colin Hanks looks like he's perfect as a \"lifestyle consultant.\" It's going to be an awesome season. We also got to see a very quick sneak peek of Season 3 which is a take-off on \u003cem>The Bachelor Pad \u003c/em>where former contestants of \u003cem>Burning Love \u003c/em>are competing in teams for $900. Michael Ian Black wears a crop top. So it's definitely going to be a success.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the end of the panel, Paul Scheer scoured the crowd for single ladies for a live version on \u003cem>Burning Love \u003c/em>called \u003cem>Quick Burn\u003c/em>. Unfortunately, the reason I gave for being worthy of wife-hood (\"I can skateboard a little\") was not as popular with the crowd as \"I'm a dancer\" from Krystin with a \"K\" and a \"y\" so I did not find my true love on stage at Cobb's on Sunday. But a girl named Krystin (?) and a boy named Jeremy (?) did. Or at least they pledged to live happily ever after, after a lightning elimination process directed by Michael Ian Black. The whole thing was pretty magical.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>1.

While I like \u003ca href=\"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fr8HKRTavM0&feature=share&list=UU1R9fG_iKqvt9FIhEQH9nTA\" target=\"_blank\">their stuff\u003c/a>, I wasn't convinced I would be experiencing anything new by going to their stage show. Guess who was the most wrong of all the wrong people? ME. Garfunkel and Oates was not only the highlight of Sketchfest, they were the highlight of February and the highlight of comedy that I've ever seen, which is pretty amazing since I was so far back I couldn't actually see them. On the walk back to our neighborhood Sunday night with my friends Drew (who took the above picture) and Audrey (same Audrey who came with me to \u003cem>Childrens Hospital \u003c/em>and pretty much every other Sketchfest show I attended), we tried to figure out what was so transcendent about the show that made us break into an impromptu dance party while the Rickshaw Stop was getting cleared out and kept us smiling and laughing for hours after it was over. Here are some things we came up with (list-within-a-list!):\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>1. Riki Lindhome and Kate Micucci are really trying to say something honest about the human experience. \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We decided that Garkunel and Oates is like what feminism is really meant to be in that, yes, they are girls and the perspective they bring is that of two women in their early thirties, but they are being so honest and earnest, and in a way, so specific, their music is pretty accessible to anyone (though maybe not 12 year-olds...they are pretty explicit).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>2. They are self-aware in a disarming way.\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Garfunkel and Oates can talk about pretty much anything from accidentally pleasuring oneself during a go-cart race to the annoying attitude of pregnant women, because the people they are most critically aware of is themselves and what they are really concerned with is how they act in the world. This is especially apparent when they are on stage and you can see the difference between their in-song personas and the actual people joking around and talking to each other and interacting with hecklers on stage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>3. They were totally present.\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It would be easy for a group that is clearly so talented musically and has such a specific repertoire to phone the whole show in. But Riki and Kate seemed to be singing every song for the first time, laughing at their own jokes, occasionally making mistakes even. It was hilarious and wonderful.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Whew! So there you have it. Sketchfest 2013 is in the record books. For those of you who made it to the end, a special treat. Here is a picture of one of the weirder stand-up acts I've ever seen, Dragon Boy Suede who opened for Garfunkel and Oates:\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_1050\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1032px\">\u003ca href=\"http://blogs.kqed.org/pop/2013/02/11/party-down-childrens-hospital-burning-love-and-garfunkel-and-oates-my-epic-closing-weekend-at-sketchfest-2013/drew2/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-1050\">\u003cimg class=\" wp-image-1050 \" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2013/02/drew2.jpg\" alt=\"drew2\" width=\"1032\" height=\"603\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2013/02/drew2.jpg 1032w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2013/02/drew2-400x233.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2013/02/drew2-800x467.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1032px) 100vw, 1032px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo by Drew Beck\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The thesis of the piece was pretty much: we use cute-ness to make ourselves and the world less threatening. The idea was that the Japanese started the game by employing epic cute-ness after WWII. The \u003cem>Vanity Fair \u003c/em>piece quoted Roland Kelts, the author of the 2006 book \u003ca href=\"http://www.japanamericabook.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u003cem>Japanamerica: How Japanese Pop Culture Has Invaded the U.S.\u003c/em>\u003c/a> as saying: “One theory, which has been proposed by a lot of Japanese artists and academics, is that, after the humiliation and emasculation of Japan in the postwar years, Japan developed this quasi-queer position of ‘little brother’ or ‘little boy.’ If you become ‘little brother’ or ‘little boy,’ the only way you can get big brother’s or fat man’s attention is by being so cute or puppy-like that he has to take care of you.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left\">All of which makes me wonder: do I want to wear fuzzy skeleton pajamas to appear less threatening? Are all the awkward teenagers and geeky adults who are obsessed by the idea of basically dressing up like stuffed animals actually attempting to make themselves less scary to get the love and care they need and want? Or maybe attempting to make the world less of a place where they are rejected and terrified and alone? Also, will I get fired or promoted or taken out to lunch or rocked to sleep like a baby kitten if I make the choice to wear Kigurumi to work?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left\">Only time will tell. In the meantime, I should probably just buy them, right?\u003c/p>\n\n",

The thesis of the piece was pretty much: we use cute-ness to make ourselves and the world less threatening. The idea was that the Japanese started the game by employing epic cute-ness after WWII. The \u003cem>Vanity Fair \u003c/em>piece quoted Roland Kelts, the author of the 2006 book \u003ca href=\"http://www.japanamericabook.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u003cem>Japanamerica: How Japanese Pop Culture Has Invaded the U.S.\u003c/em>\u003c/a> as saying: “One theory, which has been proposed by a lot of Japanese artists and academics, is that, after the humiliation and emasculation of Japan in the postwar years, Japan developed this quasi-queer position of ‘little brother’ or ‘little boy.’ If you become ‘little brother’ or ‘little boy,’ the only way you can get big brother’s or fat man’s attention is by being so cute or puppy-like that he has to take care of you.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left\">All of which makes me wonder: do I want to wear fuzzy skeleton pajamas to appear less threatening? Are all the awkward teenagers and geeky adults who are obsessed by the idea of basically dressing up like stuffed animals actually attempting to make themselves less scary to get the love and care they need and want? Or maybe attempting to make the world less of a place where they are rejected and terrified and alone? Also, will I get fired or promoted or taken out to lunch or rocked to sleep like a baby kitten if I make the choice to wear Kigurumi to work?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
